This is SO condesending it demands to be ignored.

How odd. I normally find myself more on the side of the bumper and feel that the
admonisher is being harsh.
But this time, I'm with Mark all the way. JHK knows bumping ain't cool. And he
did so only 3 days after the intial post, and after two people had responded. If
anyone is ever to get my sympathy for bumping, they'd better go at least a week
with zero replies.
And Mark is right that if we let bad behavior go once for someone who knows the
rules, all we'd have are bumps. There's enough to read and/or skim in .space
already.
And 3vil isn't nearly as bad as flaming arguments over established conduct
rules.
Let's go back to playing again. Look! a fleebnork- Flame HIM instead!
